This applies to men but majority that do it are girls. Just search up #Mogadishu on Instagram and look at the girls; 60% are visibly bleached. I blame this 100% on the "wahabi ictisaam" elite who control all the sectors and businesses from telecommunication's to your hotels. These guys usually hire lighter skin girls throughout Somalia. All of the products they sell are hung with fliers of Indian models because according to them you can't model Somali girls since it's haram? Somalia has the best looking women in the world in my opinion with the most models overseas but once in the country everything is modeled by hindi. Wallahi I seen this shit in tuulos even in Bacadweyn, bur salah, and of course the big cities.

None of this was an issue when we modeled our own products until the civil war. Fun fact, the niqaab is worn a lot to hide darker skin from the sun or to hide bleached skin from the pain. Wallahi there was a time we used to make fun of cad cads calling them dhagacas and carab waa naag which isn't right but now we worship them and try to make our skin their skin.
